The
final boys' 10-14 yr (+/-) hang-out time for this school year will be
on Thursday,
June 20, from 1-3pm, at Valley Falls Park on Valley Falls Rd
in Vernon,
CT. Any age/gender siblings are always welcome. RSVP is not necessary, just
come and have some fun! :)
As far as I can tell, Valley Falls does not start charging for
parking/admittance until June 24, but to be on the safe side, bring $5 per car load just in case.
Swimming, fishing, hiking and a playground are available. Fishing has become fairly popular with our group, and I am going to be available to help anyone new to fishing who would like to learn how to fish with bait (worms +/or
nightcrawlers). I will bring the bait, you should bring an appropriate fishing pole, hooks and bobbers. We will be doing strictly catch and release fishing. By CT DEEP state regulations, if any adult is going to touch a fishing pole, they need to have a fishing license. Children in our group's age range do not need a license.
I will be posting a list of summer locations and contact person info for weekly dates (starting July 11) where there will be boys between 10-14 yrs hanging out and enjoying the water on Thursday afternoons - most locations will include swimming and fishing.
Hope to see you at Valley Falls this Thursday!
